Music, science and art come together in The Barbican’s new exhibition AI: More Than Human.
The works on offer explore the relationship humans have with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
One work features the music of the band Massive Attack.
Professor Mick Grierson of the University of the Arts and Goldsmith’s University in London told City News. ‘We’ve spent six years developing an AI with synthetic DNA which looks to improve the way artists can work with technology.
‘We got a call from Massive Attack asking if we could use our model to remix their work… so we spent the next 18 months inputting the album Mezzanine and then letting the AI remix and reproduce the music.’
The result is a quite remarkable installation which uses the music of Massive Attack to produce new, never before heard music based on what it understands to be the best aspects of the music it knows.
Whilst the work exhibited hear doesn’t yet show the creativity human beings are capable of. Anna Holsbeck, the convener of the exhibition thinks ‘it’s important to showcase what AI is capable of because it’s going to revolutionize our lives.’
The exhibition runs from the 16th of May until the 24th of August.
